How to access complex variable attribute in FTL(inside Human Task)

[ashu.itbhu]

I am trying to explore the option of passing/accessing a complex structure in my UI.

Let's say i have employee class with attribute like

Employee

     --->fName

     --->lName

     -->DOB

Before action of Human Task

map = new java.util.HashMap();

map.put("somevar", somevar);

map.put("employee", employee);

Now in my FTL if i am doing ${somevar} it works well

but if i do ${employee.fName} or

${employee.getFName()} it throws error

Any resolution on this will be welcome

Thanks

Hi All,

Hello,

I think that this is not a jbpm related question, look at the freemarker documentation: http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/

even though i consider this, still i want to user complex object in my FTL's. Also what little i know about jBPM FTL is only UI impl available in tool, if there is other type of impl available where we can use complex object that also will be fine.... please provide your input, even sth about possibility?????

Thanks in advance

Hi All,

After adding the bean object into a Map and adding the map as input parameter mapping i am able to pass the complex value into the UI. But one of issue that i am facing is that related to persisting the data that got modified by user and the data element is part of a complex variable.

In FTL i have code like

<input type="text" name="employee.firstName" value="${employee.firstName}" /> now my question is how to save this value directly into the complex object.

Thanks
